terrified weenies

He's really flailing. The nerve of Democrats, asking questions

Coming right up: a course about how liberals are out of touch elitists, and overpaid underqualified pundits represent the real people, who they kind of remember seeing from a distance when they were kids

The Case for War, by Someone Whose Kids Won’t Die Fighting in It “The next days will be decisive. The best course for the United States is to spell out clearly to Iran what the paths of escalation — and de-escala...

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Freedom IS free. Policing the exercise of freedom is expensive

It’s rarely remarked on in any depth, but the ivies have produced a lot of toxic people.

Agree. The liberal arts are for all

The whole post is lunacy

Hugh. I never use it, not sure why.

"miss do you have any light reading?"

I haven't read Jone's book but Saidiya HArtman's "Lose your Mother" was a big influence

By "overcome" you mean "being allowed to cheat."

Oh Yeah? Well everybody gets a tariff!

Basically admitting that he pockets the revenue from tariffs

Same column he always writes! He gets paid a huge amount of money to say the same thing, over and over. Fake populist fraud

It's just him wanting to bully and reward.

These dumb arguments keep appearing when CBS has become state media and the FCC is actively censoring political speech and ICE is arresting people for saying mean things.

That’s not what he said though

I mean it's kind of a self-dramatizing comment, and the historical experiences aren't identical, but I speak English for the same reason the modern Cherokee speak English
